Inspiration

I shop on amazon a lot and I thought this would be a good time to learn python and build something to automate having to check on items all the time

What it does

The program sends an email every 24 hours/ 86400 seconds with items that have gone on sale.

How we built it

Used python and the BeautifulSoup library

Challenges we ran into

Figuring out python and then trying to find a library that would allow me to send emails or texts

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Proud that it works, this is one of the first automated programs I've built in python so I'm proud of it

What we learned

The inner workings of python and BeautifulSoup

What's next for Amazon Price Checker

Next I would like to make it a full on site, for that I'll have to learn some html/css and flask/django for that. I think it'll be a fun project to improve open
